Ask yourself this question, do I really want to quit smoking? You should have the answer to this question first and foremost if you truly want to quit smoking. There is a difference between “having to quit” and “wanting to quit”. Being pushed by your wife or anyone you care for to quit smoking won’t get you anywhere. You will hide your continuing addiction and keep smoking until inevitably everyone you know find out you were lying.
Giving up smoking is an enormous challenge for majority of smokers. You need to find something very important to you and allow yourself to make a connection to your smoking habit.
